A Colour Story: Neutral Shades
As we have settled into our loungewear lifestyle, our wardrobes have adopted a makeup palette of warming, soft tones to reflect our home environment. Looking forward to brighter days, our tonal dressing looks set to stay with a gradient of neutrals acting as our style foundation. Being described as beige has never felt so chic as we find ourselves wearing these versatile colours, moving towards a more sophisticated, pared back aesthetic.
A transeasonal base look, these bare shades of nude can be layered or coordinated to create a monochromatic effect of varying hues. From loose tailoring and cashmere knits to WFH heroes, creamy colours are dominating our daily wear and emanating subtle sartorial elegance.
RTW
Embracing the au naturel, SS21 arrives in a spectrum of beige, vanilla and sand across ready-to-wear’s stark essentials. Embracing the key to any tonal dressing, the designers are playing with a variety of textures to help you add contrast and depth to your finished look. Jacquemus treats us with biscuit linen dresses to pair with Joseph’s tan tailoring, and oversized shirts get the satin treatment in ecru and pale peach courtesy of Y/PROJECT and Materiel.
Bags
A subtle initiation into neutrals, this season’s bags are satistisfying our taste buds with café au lait shades. Serving cappuccino shoulder bags from Bottega Veneta, latte leather clutches from NEOUS and Wandler’s mocha cross body bags, these pieces are the extra boost your outfit needs, minus the caffeine.
Shoes
A guaranteed leg extension, the nude shoe’s illusionary qualities make it a necessary addition to any footwear collection. Gianvito Rossi and Aquazzura are baring all with buff coloured mesh heels, whilst aeyde and Brunello Cucinelli keep it natural with oatmeal flats.
